Sketch #210

Good Morning Creative Scrappers!
It's time for a new sketch challenge!!! I created this sketch with Banners and More Banners in Mind! I'm sure you'll have a great time creating something with this sketch ;-)

Welcome our featured designer Ashley Horton! Don't forget to visit her blog and say hi!
We have a Creative Call going on right now... did you know? Yup now until June 1st! So if you're interested in joining our talented team don't forget to send in your application. For more info CLICK HERE!

Enjoy your Sunday and our reveal!

Hi! My name is Ashley Horton and I live in the Southern US with my husband Tyler, and our two girls and little boy. I am a Stay at Home Mom and I home school our oldest daughter, who is in Kindergarten this year. I actually started Scrapbooking over six and half years ago, right after she was born. My children are the subject of my pages 90% of the time and I love to document the big events and little milestones in their lives.

I REALLY love patterned paper and love to work with a variety of manufacturers. Some of my favorites are October Afternoon, My Mind's Eye, Echo Park, Simple Stories, Crate Paper, and Bella Blvd (but believe me, this list could go on and on and on!!)

I would describe my overall style as Cutesy and Whimsical, but I also enjoy dabbling in the other Scrapbook styles that are out there, every once in a while. I currently serve on 3 Design Teams and have had layouts published (past & upcoming) in Creating Keepsakes magazine and several online magazines. Other than Scrapbooking, I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, and reading.

Hello everyone!

My name is Corina, living with my family in a town called Haarlem in the Netherlands. After my second child was born, I ended my career as child-therapist. My husband travels a lot for work and I became the so called “stay at home mother”. Between diapers, cooking and housecleaning I studied, finished Photography-school and now I work part-time as a Frame maker and Photographer.

I’ve been a passionate scrapbooker for quite a while, started with wrapping papers and good old fashion stickers. Fortunately, the Scrapbook-industry grew rapidly in the Netherlands; we even raised a few pretty good designers and producers like Joy! Crafts and Marianne Design. Our little country has quite a few scrapbook-stores and I’m a proud design team-member of one of them. It’s hard to describe my style, so probably better to go and have a look on my blog: http://cvanholstein.blogspot.com/
